** Rashid was introduced in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' as also being generally from [[PartsUnknown "The Middle East"]] (with some hints about his home stage suggesting it was in the United Arab Emirates), but this was narrowed down in ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6'' to Saudi Arabia. He spends most of his time traveling the world along with his butler either in search of his friend who was kidnapped by Shadaloo, or simply vlogging himself finding the best fighters around and throwing down with them.

Aside from some rather minor thematic influences, Rashid is a much more "modern" Saudi character than Pullum, with his shemagh/keffiyeh and "robes" being extremely stylized and more resembling parkour gear.

* The character Pullum Purna from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterEX'' is an example of a Saudi character. Although, she's a walking cliché and sports an outfit that has absolutely nothing to do with Arab culture. In fact, any woman wandering around Riyadh in Pullum's revealing, harem-style outfit would be arrested on the spot.

Although, she's a walking cliché and sports an outfit that has absolutely nothing character, though later bios tended to do waffle on it, with other source materials saying she came from "Arabia" or from the [[PartsUnknown "Middle East" in general]]. She's vastly more informed by "ArabianNightsDays" than modern Arab culture. In fact, any woman wandering around Riyadh in Pullum's revealing, culture, and her [[BedlahBabe very fanservice-y harem-style outfit outfit]] would be probably get her arrested on the spot.spot.

Over the next several decades, this alliance carved out an imperial state, known as the Emirate of Diriyah, across most of Arabia that is actually larger than Saudi Arabia is today and influence stretching beyond that even, with Ikhwan raiding as far afield as Damascus. However, their fall was just as rapid as their rise. The new Saudi emirate recognized neither the [[UsefulNotes/{{Turkey}} Ottoman Caliph]] who was the nominal ruler of Arabia and Sunni Islam or the claims of Turkey's treacherous vassal UsefulNotes/{{Egypt}} to the Red Sea Coast of Arabia. The staunchly Sunni massacres of Shiites along the Persian Gulf alienated the equally Shiite Imperial UsefulNotes/{{Iran}}. Finally, they subsidized Wahhabist piracy in the Gulf and Straits of Tiran right around the time UsefulNotes/TheBritishEmpire was becoming involved there. As if to cap this all off, the atrocities the Ikhwan committed in the holiest cities in Islam when they captured them scandalized the entire Muslim world almost more than the Napoleonic French had when the invaded Egypt and Syria around the same time.
